Patel Doubles Through Riihela in "Brutal" Fashion
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Emil Patel defended his big blind from an under-the-gun open to 33,000 by Samu Riihela. Patel check-called 25,000 on the 
flop and checked the 
turn. Riihela barreled much bigger for 100,000. Patel again called. He checked the 
river and Riihela said he was all in. It was about 250,000 effective.
Patel swore softly but called before his 30 seconds were about to be up.
Riihela showed 
for top pair, but Patel had 
for backdoor two pair after he missed a flush draw.
"Sorry to nitroll you," he said.
"Brutal," was all Riihela could muster.
